The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).

When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.

3/4 ÷ 3/8

= 3/4 × 8/3

Simplifying gives us the final answer:

= 2

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

(256 x (1/243))^-2 x ((1/9)/(8))^4 x 268435456

Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18mc006-1.jpg inches. What is the area of the circle?

The complete question is:
Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18π inches. What is the area of the circle?

Solution:
Circumference (C) of the circle can be written as:

$C=2 \pi r \\ \\ 18 \pi =2 \pi r \\ \\ r=9$

Using this value of radius, we can find the Area(A) of the circle.

$A= \pi r^{2} \\ \\ 
A= \pi (9)^{2} \\ \\ 
A=81 \pi$

Therefore, area of the circle having a circumference of 18π inches will be 81π inches²
